Shen Changchuan naturally knew where that gaze had come from.
In truth,
this was not the first time he had been subjected to such "scrutiny."
Whenever he met someone vastly stronger than himself, he would feel as though every secret he possessed had been seen through.
It had been the same when, back in the Qi Induction realm, he met his Master, You Longzi, who stood at the peak of the Spirit Wandering realm.
And during this period, when he, now at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, met beings of the Mysterious Pill realm, it was the same as well!
For this reason,
he did not develop any thoughts of humiliation because of such "scrutiny."
First, he was used to it.
Moreover, that sensation of having all one's secrets laid bare was merely an illusion born of the vast disparity in life level and strength, of the other party seeing too much through a single glance.
That was not actually the case.
At the very least, no one had ever seen through the most fundamental reliance that had allowed him to reach this point step by step—the Progress Bar Panel.
Second,
the gap between them was simply too vast!
So vast that, the instant the other party's gaze fell upon him, his thoughts stiffened and even his consciousness could no longer move!
With such an enormous gap,
what thoughts could possibly arise?
Just as an ant on the ground would not grow angry because a child was observing it.
That would be utterly meaningless.
Therefore,
compared to reactions such as anger at having one's so-called dignity or privacy violated,
what Shen Changchuan felt more deeply at this moment was envy and longing!
He envied it, longed for it.
One day,
he too would step into such a realm.
